If you run into problems with your Kreepy Krauly, remember that different pools will have different characteristics and you may need to make more adjustments to your Kreepy Krauly.
A good starting point is to check the most common causes of Kreepy Krauly cleaner problems, as follows:
• Is bottom main drain closed? Close drain
• Is filter clean? Clean filter
• Is pump strainer basket clean? Clean basket
• Is debris blocking the bottom of the cleaner? Remove debris
• Are there any leaks in the hose? Replace leaky section
• Is automatic regulator valve free of debris? Clean valve
If your Kreepy Krauly is not moving or not pulsating.
• Check to ensure that the main drain and all suction lines are closed, except for the suction line to which your Kreepy Krauly is attached.
• Check for debris in the filter or pump basket.
• Check for debris in Kreepy Krauly's flapper. Debris may prevent flapper movement or restrict flow.
• Pool pump and filter system may be too small, or incapable of providing 14 gallons per minute water flow. Consult a pool professional.
If your Kreepy Krauly stays in one end of the pool.
• Check the return line water flow and re-direct as necessary with an eyeball diverter.
• Check that hose is long enough to reach to end of pool.
• Check that Kreepy Krauly has proper hose balance.
If your Kreepy Krauly stays on the main drain.
• Check to ensure that main drain is closed. A pool professional may need to assist you.
• Check to ensure that a main drain grate is installed.
• If main drain is not flush with the pool floor, consult your pool professional.
If your Kreepy Krauly slows or stops and air bubbles enter the pool at the return line.
Find and correct the air leak that is causing the pump to lose its prime:
• Check the hose to ensure there are no leaks.
• Check the vacuum connection. It should be submerged so no air enters the system.
• Check the pump basket lid for looseness, cracks, and worn or missing o-rings. If you need assistance, contact a pool professional
If your Kreepy Krauly is moving too fast.
In most pools, the automatic regulator valve supplies Kreepy Krauly with the proper amount of water flow. However, if used with an especially powerful pool pump, the valve can be overpowered.
• To slow Kreepy Krauly down, a manual bypass valve accessory is available for purchase from your Kreepy Krauly dealer. This manual bypass can be adjusted to achieve the recommended cleaner speed of 8 to 12 feet per minute. NOTE: The manual bypass cannot be used with a vacuum line installation. To decrease the speed of Kreepy Krauly, simply remove the in-line valve cone from the bottom of the automatic regulator valve and replace it with the manual bypass. Press the automatic regulator valve into the threaded compression adapter, or 2 inch hose cone if used. The end of the valve that is marked attach hose this end must point up. Place Kreepy Krauly into the pool and allow it to sink to the floor. Continue to feed the hose down vertically into the pool until it is completely filled with water and purged of air. Insert the hose through the skimmer opening and push it onto the automatic regulator valve. Slide the hose protector into position on the hose to prevent the hose body from rubbing against the skimmer opening.
• Adjust the manual bypass while the Kreepy Krauly is running. Place your hand into the skimmer and turn the bypass adjuster one click at a time until the desired speed of 8 - 12 feet per minute is reached.
If your Kreepy Krauly pulls air from, or remains at, the water surface.
• Check to ensure the dive float mechanism is operating freely and the dive float restrictor is installed.
• Check the automatic regulator valve for its proper installation and ensure it is not clogged with debris.
• Make sure the water level is at least 3 inches below the pool deck.
• Check to ensure your Kreepy Krauly is operating at the proper speed of between 8 and 12 feet per minute.
If your Kreepy Krauly stays at the shallow end steps.
• Check the return line water flow and re-direct as necessary with an eyeball diverter.
• Check the automatic regulator valve for its proper installation and ensure it is not clogged with debris.
• Check that hose is long enough to reach the furthest point of the pool, including pool steps.
• Check that Kreepy Krauly has proper hose balance in shallow end.
• Check to ensure your Kreepy Krauly is operating at the proper speed of between 8 and 12 feet per minute.
Check to ensure the dive float mechanism is operating freely and the dive float restrictor is installed.
• Shorten the roller bumper strap by 1/2 inch. (Pull out upper end of bumper strap from locking end clip attached to swivel head. Cut 1/2 inch off, then return bumper strap into locking end clip.)
If your Kreepy Krauly tracks in a repetitive pattern.
• Check the swivel on the top of Kreepy Krauly. It should turn freely.
• Check the return line water flow and re-direct as necessary with an eyeball diverter.
• Check Kreepy Krauly's hose to ensure it has not become bent or kinked. It only takes one bent or kinked hose section to hinder the cleaning coverage. One way to check for kinks in your hose is to lay each section flat on your pool's deck (or other flat surface).
• The hose should be perfectly straight and flat. Do not coil the hose when taking your Kreepy Krauly out of the pool because it will retain the coil shape, forming a bend or kink.
If your Kreepy Krauly gets stuck on pool obstructions such as a safety ledge, ladders, steps, swim-outs, and benches.
• Remove dive float restrictor and install a wall climb adjuster. Snap the wall climb adjuster into place. This will keep Kreepy Krauly on the pool's floor and away from pool obstructions. Make sure the narrow end of the wall climb adjuster points down to the drive tubes. This accessory is available for purchase from your Kreepy Krauly dealer.
• If Kreepy Krauly gets stuck under your pool ladder, install a Ladder Guard according to the instructions contained in the packaging. This accessory is available for purchase from your Kreepy Krauly dealer.
If your Kreepy Krauly is still hampered by the unique characteristics of your pool, regardless of the adjustments you have tried.
• Consider "Thruster", the Kreepy Krauly accessory that aids random pattern coverage by automatically repositioning the hose to help free the cleaner from obstacles. Thruster keeps Kreepy Krauly out of tight spots in difficult-to-clean or uniquely-shaped pools. Ask your Kreepy Krauly dealer about this accessory.
To remove debris from the flapper.
• Sometimes debris may clog the bottom of the cleaner and prevent flapper movement or restrict flow. The flapper is located inside the main body and must move freely at all times.
• You can see the flapper through the opening in the baffle plate, when you turn the cleaner upside down. Jiggle the flapper with your finger or flush the cavity with a hose to force out any debris lodged inside the main body.
• If debris is still lodged inside, you must remove the flapper. First, lift the lip of the foot pad and insert a flat-head screwdriver along side one of the two tabs found on the baffle plate. Push the tab inward with the screwdriver until the baffle plate releases. Place a finger into the center opening of the baffle plate and pull up until it pops out. Then pull the flapper out. NOTE: Your should be able to do this without taking the footpad off.
• Once the debris is dislodges, insert the flapper back into position. Be sure that it is securely in place.

The Geyser in Sapareva banya is one of the hottest in the world. Its temperature is 103 degrees centigrade. This is the only geyser in the whole of Continental Europe and the most impetuous one because it pulsates every 5-6 seconds. The Geyser is easily accessible. It was drilled in 1957 and its depth is 75 meters. It's flow is 18 litres per sec and the water column reaches 18 meters. It's chemical composition is: Cations: Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Aluminum, Manganese. Anions: Fluorine, Chlorine, Sulfate, Carbonate, Hydro-carbonate, Hydro-sulfate, Hydro-silicate, Tio-sulfate, Hydrogen sulfide etc.
Marble run with 4 rotors.
This setup is very suitable to gain experience with the construction of Fischertechnik parts. Some parts are made with the 3D printer. Because of this they are better adapted which gives a better stability and a more compact construction. However, most parts could also be made completely with original FT building blocks.
There are some points you should pay attention to during the build. The rotors are quite high, so you need to pay extra attention to stability. The 4 rotors are centrally driven by 1 XM motor. This makes controlling these rotors easier. Because 4 balls are picked up and delivered at the same time, you have some pulsating loads on the drive shaft. Each rotor is driven over a gear and worm gear. The gears on the worm shaft have 30 teeth. I made these via 3D print so they would have less backlash on the worm shaft. The original FT gears would have more backlash.
I have chosen to use a feeder that indicates the balls. A chain takes care of this circulation. The chain is synchronized by an IR detector. The rotor contains a magnet that sends a pulse when it comes in front of a hall detector. Through this pulse I can control the feeder to transfer the marble to the rotor. Now the chain can be started again so the next marble will be ready when the rotor rotates further.
The software runs under Robopro via the TXT-Controller. Only the servo is controlled externally over an I2C line. All other signals run over the original TXT. This is a nice application for multitasking programming. I have provided 4 tasks for this. The main program controls the rotor motor1 and processes the pulses from the hall chip. A second task is the chain control. It controls motor2 and gets info for this from the IR sensor. Task 3 is the emergency stop control. In case of problems he stops both motors and also takes care of a safe possible restart. Task4 is the I2C service. This is necessary because the TXT still has a heavy software bug on the I2C line. It should never be interrupted for more than 5 seconds once started. By regularly reading back the servo position this requirement is met.
There are still some small sub routines. In the init routine we first wait 8 sec to control the chain. At a start or restart any balls that might still be present in the feeder are pushed through.
Rangers came from behind twice in normal time before beating Dundee United in a penalty shoot-out to win a pulsating CIS Insurance Cup final.
Substitute Kris Boyd was the hero after scoring twice in normal time before firing the winning penalty.
Noel Hunt had given United the lead before Boyd equalised after Mark Kerr's mistake in defence.
Mark De Vries put United back in front before Boyd headed a second, as Gers won their first trophy in three years.
Rangers made two changes to the side which faced Werder Bremen in the Uefa Cup.
Suspended duo Nacho Novo and Charlie Adam were replaced by Lee McCulloch and Chris Burke.
Dundee United manager Craig Levein, leading a team out at Hampden for the first time, made four changes after his side's midweek goalless draw at Celtic.
Noel Hunt returned to the starting line-up along with Christian Kalvenes, Willo Flood and Morgaro Gomis.
Out went David Robertson and Craig Conway, who dropped to the bench and cup-tied duo Danny Grainger and Jim O'Brien.

Levein said before the game that the players were determined to lift the trophy for club chairman Eddie Thompson, who is suffering from cancer.
The opening 10 minutes were fairly low-key as both sides struggled to establish any rhythm.
Zaluska produced a stunning save in the 18th minute when McCulloch dummied Kirk Broadfoot's cross and the keeper parried Barry Ferguson's shot.
Garry Kenneth headed away Rangers crosses time and again as Broadfoot became more dangerous as the first-half progressed.
Hunt gave United a deserved lead in the 33rd minute.
The Irishman's initial shot was saved by McGregor, but Rangers failed to clear their lines and Hunt managed to force the ball over the line at the second attempt.

Darcheville came on for Brahim Hemdani at the start of the second half as Rangers searched for an equaliser.
United claimed for a penalty in the 53rd minute when Cuellar appeared to pull back Kalvenes in the box, but referee Kenny Clark waved play on.
Darcheville was denied an equaliser when Zaluska blocked the Frenchman's shot with his heel to deflect the ball wide for a corner.
Rangers equalised with six minutes remaining when Mark Kerr inexplicably attempted a passback to the keeper, and Boyd rifled the ball home.
De Vries put United back in front at the start of extra-time when he drilled the ball bast McGregor from the right-hand side of the box.
Prince Buaben played a superb pass through to the Dutchman who swept the ball home to cap a fine flowing move.
Boyd equalised for a second time when United failed to clear their lines and he headed home at the back post.

Video of Flatland showing a new type of earthquake indicator I added: pulsating spheres. I also made the spheres semi-transparent. Unfortunately, this lead to z-fighting (which looks like tears in the surface of the spheres) because there were some areas of the spheres that were the same, leading the software/hardware not knowing which to draw. So, I removed the semi-transparent colors...

Peace To All,
Well, here We are in our 8th month!!! So happy We're here so far. All corals are doing GREAT!!! Still haven't dosed the vase. I think the weekly water changes and mid-week 25%, has maintained this pico running with no problems at all. I fragged the Fire and Ice Zoanthids and will be trading this frag for another colony of colorful Zoas. Brandon's hard work and dedication, has paid off for all who attempt to keep a Vase Reef. I have kept a bowl reef in the late 80's for 2 years but when the seahorses died, although the corals were doing great, I decided to break it down. I will try to find the pics of my seahorse 2 gal bowl soon and put them up.
The airstone in this vase really help keep CO2 out, keeping the ph stabilzed. Plus, it adds to a very natural flow of water movement for all the corals, including the demanding SPS corals. Ive also added my Green Bay Packers Zoanthids frag to the bottom (used to be behind the Duncan coral).
I don't have much coraline algae and none on the glass and that's because I rathered the corals benefit from the calcium in this 1.5 gal. than the coraline algae on the walls. I treat the vase like day 1. Super clean with my LARGE magnifying glass. 22 species of corals in all, in 1.5gal of saltwater, is simply AMAZING!!
That's the force of LIFE!!!
Stay tune for future updates as I plan on removing that medium colony of Green Star Polyp rock on the upper right since it spread unto a small rock, I can make room for my cat's paw coral on the right bottom, and move to that spot. Also, I'm moving the Montipora (bottom left), to the top (left), and put my 6 heads Blastomussa Merletti in that spot. I'm also bringing down the Nuclear Cyphastrea (top right), to the bottom right, where the Cat's Paw is on the pic now. Also bringing the Fire and Ice zoanthids (top left), to the bottom. Big changes on this 8th month, but it will create more space and less invasive corals.
Blessings To All.

The heart of a city is in its commercial districts. If enterprise is thriving the city is thriving. You can hear it; you can feel it, that pulsating beat of money and goods changing hands. The most essential thing to keep in mind when considering commerce is that it is natural and organic. Like an empty field returned to seed, it does not require much to thrive. Ask most entrepreneurs and they tell you their needs are quite simple: cheap space, low taxes, low crime and a pool of workers with skills for hire.
Back in the late 70’s we went through some though economic times. In some ways it was as bad as or worse than what we face today while in others ways today is more dreadful. I figure age has me thinking, at least viscerally, that today takes the pain championship. That is the tendency to view our younger days as the good old days, I suppose. Truth is we were teetering on ruin back then, too. We pulled out of the mess last time, as we had for most of the 20th century, rescued by a rebounding, albeit, wounded car industry. That is what’s different this time. Our wounded giants can’t save us this time; they may not save themselves. Our salvation will come from the bottom up. That is not as scary as it seems when you think about it. Long before Ford became a global colossus, before Motown ruled the charts they were founded by a hobbyist tinkering in his garage and a shop rat peddling songs on the side. Somewhere there is a turned out autoworker, a laid off engineer, a right sized manager, with nothing much to do, and even less to lose, tinkering in a garage. All they need is the land cleared.
ArtScience celebrates 25th anniversary
Paradiso, Amsterdam 2015
In “U-AV” Joris Strijbos and Matthijs Munnik build synaesthetic landscapes from electronic sound structures, generative video and stroboscopic light. The project is the result of a combined research on the side effects of human perception and how the eyes perceive visual complexity in combination with external flicker images and loud pulsating sounds.
While the performance relentlessly over-stimulate the audiovisual senses, the work opens up and envelops the audience in a meditative and hypnotic zone where the spectator can dream away in the abstract worlds that pass.
Concept and production: Joris Strijbos and Matthijs Munnik
“U-AV” was realized with the support of Sonic Acts Festival and was selected for SHAPE, Sound, Art and Performance Heterogenous Europe and The Creative Europe program of the European Commission.
Matthijs Munnik
Munnik studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. He has exhibited at museums and festivals internationally, among others Sonic Acts (NL), Ars Electronica (AU) and TodaysArt (NL, RU, JP). Munnik won the Artist & Designers 4 Genomics award for his Microscopic Opera project. He is currently a resident at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam.
Joris Strijbos
Joris Strijbos is a Rotterdam-based artist whose work focuses on the synaesthetic relation and interaction between moving image and sound. His work consists of a series of kinetic audiovisual installations and new media performances inspired by an ongoing research into cybernetics, emergent systems, artificial life and communication networks within groups. In his installations he combines artificial, electronic and digital media with models and algorithms based on biological systems. His work has been widely shown at festivals, galleries and museums like Ars Electronica – Linz, Sonic Acts Festival – Amsterdam, DEAF Biennale – Rotterdam, Woodstreet Galleries – Pittsburgh, WRO International Media Art Biennale – Wroclaw, Van Gogh Museum – Amsterdam.

We visited the Franzosische Friedrichstadt Kirche [Chruch] as part of our visit to Berlin, Germany in April 2016. A beautiful landmark located on Gendarmenmarkt in the heart of this pulsating city. Highly recommended.
New windows are being installed in our house today, so it’s freezing. We had to retreat to the downstairs family room and turn up the heat. I’m on a laptop, which doesn’t contain any of my photos, so I created this one in photobooth. Not the most sophisticated image in the world, but it works OK for my little essay that follows.
While down here, I read an article in the New York Times about how Flickr is on the decline. When it comes to sharing photos as part of social networking, Facebook is giving Flickr a thrashing (sidenote: having been thrashed seems to be the origin of the term “a checkered past”). Way more people are using Facebook to share photos about their lives.
On a positive note, people who are seriously interested in photography are more inclined to use Flickr. Nevertheless, that isn’t going to generate nearly as much revenue as the “photo sharing social network for everyone” that Flickr claims to be. The people running Flickr must know they’re in trouble, even though, according to the NY Times article, they still want to give the impression that Flickr is like friends and family sitting on the living room couch, talking about photos.
Did I just say, “Talking about photos?” Yes I did, but to be quite honest, I see very little of that happening in flickr, even among the people who are serious about photography. Instead I see lots of terse and mundane comments, which has mostly been the case for the 5 years I’ve been on flickr.
Rather than it truly being a social network where people, including those serious about photography, are discussing photos, I see flickr more as a kind of competition or popularity contest. Who gets the most views, favs, explore hits, and comments, regardless of how valuable those comments are. I see it more as a “recognition network” than truly a “social network.” Besides being a good photographer, in order to get that recognition, one also needs to be good at the flickr “recognition” game. Online you’ll find lots of advice about how to be a flickr superstar, but very little about discussing photos.

Another pulsating ending to an important fixture up Westfield Lane. Skem had a player sent off after 10 seconds ! - Frickley go 2-0 up , Skem bravely fight back to equalise in 92nd minute .... but then Frickley go up other end and 'crazy pinball' in the penalty box score a 96th minute winner via Donny on loan player Joe Pugh . Everyone jumps on each other and the place goes nuts ! Moments after the final whistle and the pitch is cleared the Skem management are still sitting in the dugout in disbelief as to what they had just witnessed. Speechless and motionless.
Pulsating high above the heart of the city, Tsunami 1.26 is a gigantic aerial net installation by acclaimed American artist Janet Echelman. This spectacular vision is one of the works from the Powerhouse Museum’s Love Lace exhibition, and combines ancient craft practice with cutting-edge technology to create an oasis of sculpture delicate enough to be choreographed by the wind. Netted with a high tensile rope, 15 times stronger than steel in weight, and lit by changing coloured lights, Tsunami is inspired by the events that unfolded following the 2010 Chile earthquake. Using a 3D model of the 2010 tsunami, and software to create an outline of the model’s higher amplitude area, Echelman created her sculptural form, with machine-knotted mesh revealing the intricacy of traditional netting.

Mica Still (born 1974)
They wait for me to wake, 2008
Acrylic on board
24 x 24 in. (61 x 61 cm)
******************************************
Moving even further away from a representation of physical grounding, Mica Still creates dreamlike images with visages of animals, pulsating color, and graphic lines. Her painting They wait for me to wake is a wonderful melding of the mythologies, histories, and memories that might swirl in the soup of the unconscious. Laws of gravity and scale changes are as diverse as this place is unique to the mind of the artist.
Still is a people enthusiast with shy tendencies who lets her artwork tell it like it is. She dreams in color, and these dreams spill out onto her art works, populating them with animals and symbols from both her homeland and her adopted home.
Her work is bright, graphic and complex, with humans and animals combining to explore her desires, fears and fantasies.
Still’s artwork will sneak up and frighten you in your dreams while making you laugh out loud in the light of day.
Biography:
Originally from a small West Coast town in the United States, she upgraded to the capital of New Zealand, where she mentors other promising artists to supplement her own art career.
Still completed a Study Abroad Program, Pont-Aven School of Art, and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland, Oregon, and a Certificate of Multimedia, National School of Technology and Design, Wellington, New Zealand. Her work has been shown in Australia and New Zealand and can be found in collections in Portland, Oregon and New Zealand.
I added more animations for making the clock hours appear and disappear to my pulsating blob test program (which someday I really will roll into the actual program I'm writing for distribution). I also added a debug text section at the bottom.
This particular version of the program exercises the ten or fifteen various types of animation I added in an automated fashion. One fo my goals was to see how robust the code I wrote is - I checked for memory leaks (none was detected so far) and energy usage (which ranged from low to high. I need to find a way to quantify "low" and "high" and pinpoint where in my code the high energy usage is. (I thought the pulsating color blobs caused the high energy usage but apparently not - more testing is indicated).
One of the new animations you may see here is the random Bezier path. I still haven't gotten it working as I originally had hoped, but at least it looks sort of, semi, pseudo-normal in its motion to and from off-screen.
The top line of the debug indicates which animation is running (although it seems not to be in sync with the actual animation) and the bottom line is the number of individual animations executed.
Lost in the pulsating rhythm and kaleidoscope of lights, I find myself swept away in the euphoria of Yomi's birthday celebration. With Elsie dancing beside me, our laughter mingles with the beat, echoing through the crowded club. As Marco and our other friends join the revelry, the energy of the night becomes infectious. I can feel the music coursing through my veins as I strum a few chords on the guitar, adding my own touch to the festivities. Each snapshot captures the essence of joy and camaraderie, a testament to the magic of friendship and the power of music. Happy Birthday to Yomi!

The next part of our Miami tour included lunch at Little Havana.
Hispanic culture permeates everything in Little Havana - colorful murals, monuments to heroes past and present, elderly men playing dominoes as they discuss politics and cigar rollers deep at work amidst Little Havana's ever-present aroma of Cuban coffee. These scenes of daily life in Little Havana play out amidst a backdrop of pulsating traditional Cuban and Afro-Cuban music, storefronts, unique art galleries and quaint typical restaurants.
MU In Real Live Thursdays #11: No Room to Dance
20 August, with Frouke ten Velden, Nicholas Robert Thayer, Peter Leung, Albert van Abbe and Ricky van Broekhoven
No Room to Dance took the audience on an audio-visual adventure. When the sun sets and the shutters close, party animals find each other in clubs, bars and festivals – covid-prohibited places since what seems like eternity. Especially for the night creatures who couldn’t wait any longer, there was ´No Room to Dance´: two pulsating audio-visual installations that briefly took us to a world where the beats set the rules.
Phasing Waves
Sound designer Ricky van Broekhoven and musician Albert van Abbe presented Phasing Waves, a hybris musical instrument that combines kinetic light sculptures with electronic sounds. A flexible, light-emitting snare of several meters long creates magical shapes and patterns in the dark, in an interactive live performance with the audience.
Resonance
VJ, scenographer and media artist Frouke ten Velden has been developing Resonance together with composer Nicholas Robert Thayer and choreographer Peter Leung. In this immersive and performative installation, they investigate the synthesis between image and sound in sculpture, cross-disciplinary composition and spatial resonance.
Phasing Waves and Resonance are supported by Creative Industries Fund NL
